This is a mixed media collage on corrugated metal that contains a hash mark drawing of male figure with a small head and a large rectangular body. The figure appears wearing a striped shirt and long belted pants. The phrase, "SHOPLIFTER" is written in large block letters across the top margin of the canvas, and "he got stealing cell phones / caught" appears underneath in small lower case letters at left. An adhesive sticker appears at center behind the figure, and another containing the image of the cartoon character Patrick Star from the animated series "SpongeBob SqarePants" appears at top left. The background is divided with light brown at top and dark brown across on the bottom half of the composition.
